Capacitors

Defibrillator During ventricular fibrillation the heart muscles contract randomly, preventing the coordinated pumping of blood. A defibrillator can often restore normal blood pumping by discharging the charge on a capacitor through the heart. Paddles are held against the patient’s chest, and a 6 x 10-6-F charged capacitor is discharged in several milliseconds. If the capacitor energy is 250 J, what potential difference was used to charge the capacitor?
